Ado McGuinness has set his sights on the Listed Woodlands Stakes in Naas for his sprinter Go Athletico.

Since switching to McGuinness, Go Athletico has landed a Listed contest in Cork last summer and a Group 3 at the Curragh in September.

He travelled out to Doha last month for the valuable Dukhan Sprint, but finished down the field in eighth.

McGuinness said: "We've given him a break and he is back in work.

"He'll either run at the end of the month in a Listed race at Cork or he will wait for the Woodlands in Naas.

"I'd say we might go for the Woodlands."

The Woodlands Stakes is on May 18th.
